ELG — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoELG (BOLC102_C07P064910.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 7 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat and Ser/Thr kinase domains. The product has been annotated with diverse molecular functions including GTPase inhibitor activity, guanylyl cyclase activity, transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase binding, and peptide receptor activity. BoELG is associated with immune response-regulating signaling pathways, anti-apoptosis, reactive oxygen species-mediated programmed cell death, carbohydrate homeostasis, and negative regulation of floral organ abscission. It is linked to agronomically important traits including grain yield, bacterial blight disease resistance, brassinosteroid content, shoot growth angle, plant male sterility, and responses to temperature stress, UV light, aphids, and nematodes. The gene localizes to the endosome, ER, and plasmodesmata. Related genes in other species are associated with bacterial disease resistance, cell death control, organ size, and immune signaling.
